BW35 pipe in sump

[roverrocket]

Hi all, after removing the gearbox sump to replace the leaky gasket I discovered a loose pipe in the pan - hopefully pics attached. I don't think it came off when removing the sump.
It's obvious where the pipe lives and having offered it up it is staying in place but I'm obviously concerned it will detach again
The gearbox has been fine in the time I've had it - the odd clonk going into reverse but otherwise OK I think. What''s the best course of action?

Also the sump plug needs replacing. Anyone know if the usual traders stock these as I can't seen it listed on their websites.

Thanks in advance

That looks like its the pipe that operates the rear clutch. It must have fallen out when the sump was removed, as the sump stops the pipes falling out, and without that pipe you won't have TOP or REVERSE gears.

You could try JPAT for a sump plug, If not I probably have a used one.

Just put a spanner on the rear servo bolts to make sure they're not loose.

Thanks for that Harvey, I'll stop worrying about it then! Rear servo bolts.....might need some handholding there?
My sump plug is goosed, so if you have one I can buy I would be very grateful

The rearmost pipe fits into the bowl shaped servo, retained by two 9/16" AF bolts.

I'll have a look to see if I have one next time I'm in the garage.
